Presentation
If none of these signs are present, uncomplicated enterolith ileus is present. In uncomplicated enterolith ileus (21 patients), more often milking and crushing or enterotomy was performed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Meckel's enterolith is a rare clinical entity that may be found on imaging and at surgery, as seen in this case of a 68-year-old man presenting for esophagogastrectomy. Images are presented with differential diagnosis and treatment choices. [jhu.pure.elsevier.com]

The occurrence of acute complications is about 10–30% and include diverticulitis (consecutive to bowel stasis in a diverticulum, mucosal edema causing obstruction of diverticulum’s orifice and bacterial proliferation), perforation, intestinal hemorrhage [jbsr.be]
If after taking the first portion of the drug, a rash or signs of mucosal edema are observed, you should abandon its further use and consult a doctor. [en.uccvs2016.org]

There was no history of vomiting, fever or chronic cough. Patient had normal bladder and bowel habits. On clinical examination the abdomen was not distended, soft with tenderness in the right iliac fossa. There was no mass palpable. [springerplus.springeropen.com]

A 30-year-old woman presented with a short history of abdominal pain which rapidly progressed to absolute constipation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Recently a 50-year-old female, who was treated for pulmonary tuberculosis 12 years back, presented to us with recurrent abdominal pain over the last two years. She had symptomatic treatment with antacids, anti-spasmodics and deworming agents. [ijri.org]
A history of sudden or recurrent abdominal pain, associated with vomiting in a patient who is in a population at risk for enterolithiasis should raise suspicion of a possibility of enteral concretions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

It is prescribed for various intestinal diseases for 3-5 days - to eliminate diarrhea and up to 10 days for the treatment of dysbiosis. For children from 6 to 10 years. It is prescribed in powder, 1-2 sachets for 2 weeks. [teego.ru]
Face, Head & Neck
- Neck Edema
Delayed diagnosis of Meckel’s diverticulum, small intestinal tissue lining of the pouch, alkaline environment, neck edema or inflammation, and focal nidus formation are potential risk factors for development of the stones[ 22, 29, 64 ]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
- Trichotillomania
Some enteroliths are made up of large amounts of indigestible ingested material, such as hair, occurring in trichotillomania or trichophagia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
At the current presentation, his hematological and biochemical workup was normal and abdominal radiographs were inconclusive. USG revealed a normal study. He was initially managed conservatively in lines of adhesive bowel obstruction. [hindawi.com]
The five other examinations were performed within the framework of a lymphoma workup. The EPAGE criteria were applicable for 411 patients. [em-consulte.com]
Serum
- Hypochlorhydria
[…] and its diverticulae provide a more acidic environment necessary for choleic acid precipitation, leading to the formation of biliary primary enteroliths. [16] In distal small bowel, the milieu is more alkaline, which may be accentuated by age-related hypochlorhydria [archintsurg.org]
Treatment
Surgical treatment is an enterotomy and stone extraction or manually crushing and milking the stone distally into the colon. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Images are presented with differential diagnosis and treatment choices. [jhu.pure.elsevier.com]
We highlight the importance of high clinical suspicion and individualized treatment according to the patient's condition, severity, ALS etiology and locally available treatment possibilities. References 1. Cho YS, Lee TH, Hwang SO, et al. [scielo.isciii.es]
When DJID is incidentally discovered and remains asymptomatic, no surgical treatment is required. If chronic symptoms are present, conservative treatment should be tried before considering surgery. [jbsr.be]
